[dspace-source]\dspace-xmlui\dspace-xmlui-webapp\src\main\webapp

No you place them in [dspace-source]/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/
webapp
You want to avoid changing the [dspace-source]/dspace-xxx projects
outside the [dspace-source]/dspace directory
Maybe you should consider creating a local svn repository and
branching the original dspace source,
in this way you could update platform sources and bring on your custom
themes/aspect development.
(i'm not an svn expert, so feel free to add more details for this
operation)
Yes, and we war talking about just the [dspace-source]/dspace
"configuration and modules which you need to maintain in a svn repo,
everything else can be left out and resolved as a dependency via Maven
3. What files do what in xmlui? There is very little documentation
as far as
i can tell. How dri2xhtml/ and dri2xhtml.xsl included in the theme?
look at xml:include directives on top of your xsl theme file.
I suggest you to have a look at w3cschool tutorials about xsl, xslt,
xpath and xquery languages.
http://www.w3schools.com/
The nice thing is that if you go to xmlui and run mvn package once,
all the theme resources that are in the original dspace-xmlui-web will
then be found in xmlui/target/webapp. You can copy the parts you want
upto xmlui/src/main/webapp for your own customizations.
